Clubs

Anime Club

The Anime Club is for fans of this popular Japanese animation art style, and also includes Japanese comic books (manga) and Pokémon. Goals of the club include becoming familiar with all forms of this genre, learning about Japanese culture, and learning some words in Japanese.

Be A Leader Club

The Be A Leader Club is a student-led group that focuses on developing self-advocacy and leadership skills necessary to prepare for and successfully attend college. One Saturday each month, members are able to attend free workshops focused on college admittance hosted by the Be A Leader Foundation at the ASU downtown campus.

Test Prep Club

Test Prep Club provides students with tools and strategies to help prepare students for high stakes college entrance exams like the ACT and SAT.

Although we focus mostly on testing techniques of the pre-college experience, we also touch on the emotional/psychological implications, logistical concerns like completing the registration on collegeboard.org, and meeting the financial challenges of constantly increasing college tuition.

Varsity Club

Varsity Club is made up of students who have a desire to support the athletic programs of the Girls Leadership Academy of Arizona. Students contribute by attending events, supporting teams as volunteer workers, and by helping with fund raising activities in support of the Lady Warrior athletic program. Leadership roles, community service, and opportunities to make new friendships and connections abound.

Yearbook Club

In this student-led, real-world business venture, there is a place for everyone in Girls Leadership Academy Yearbook Club! From designing pages for our most sought after memory book of the year, to managing the finances and fundraising events for our organization, the GLAAZ Yearbook Club is constantly working to create the best yearbook imaginable. Yearbook Club meets once a week, every Friday from 2:30-3:40 in room 204.
